Being a cigar smoker I was intrigued enough by this tobacco's description to purchase a tin along with a cheap "starter," briar pipe. Unfortunately it didn't taste very much like a cigar whatsoever.
However I recently bought myself a Falcon pipe with a meerschaum lined bowl and gave it another try.
Well, what a transformation! It still didn't resemble a cigar but there was a lovely sweet taste I'd never before experienced. So much so that I smoked three bowls in succession.
I'd certainly recommend this blend to any new pipe smoker or to a cigar smoker wishing to try something different.
But do try it in a meerschaum first!

I'm no expert but I know what a good cigar tastes like, this is an absolute gem, particularly at the price! I currently have one in my hand, the band has been removed and I'm not putting it down until my fingers are on fire! Delicious, absolutely delicious!!

This is very light in flavour, very smooth and slightly sweet. Construction is a bit tighter than the hand-rolled cigars I've had, but I didn't have any problems with draw. It's pleasant enough, but I'm not fully convinced.

Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single
by Peter
Just finished smoking this cigar which was a very fine smoke all the way until the end when it got a bit hot. Nevertheless, I'll be buying this one again.

WOW! What a fantastic cigar. A lovely smooth 1.5 hours smoke with lovely smoke and strong ash. A really well made beautiful looking cigar which burned well to the end. I experienced strong nutty, coffee flavours with a slight spicy hit towards the end. It was more towards the medium end of the strength spectrum rather than full. Overall an excellent cigar. I might consider buying a box at some point.

I've seen these described as the mildest of the Bolivar range being merely Medium Bodied. I'd had one of these in my humidor for quite a few months just waiting for a suitable occasion on which to indulge and after winning a particularly tricky game of bowls I decided that such a time had arrived.
The construction, burn and draw were all faultless and the flavours were first rate.
All in all an excellent cigar.
Any chance of a shorter version, Simon?
